Your model with 21” is 451mi range, (451-245)/451 = 45.6%, so 45.6%-33%=12.6% in AC and other usage, right?
Essentially, yea but you have to take off 5% right away for no aero covers lol. I was wondering while driving, anyone know how much power is consumed by the stereo system? The louder you listen the more power is consumed right?
The Jaguar I Pace does this. Manufacturer recommends to charge to 100%… There isn’t even a control in the car to limit that. They reserve the top 10 or so percent for battery life. I think it’s working, I have 36,000 miles on the car and my battery life and range is exactly the same as when I first got it. I plug it I every night regardless of what’s left. I treat it like my cell phone: charge fully every night.
Additional information: the I Pace maximum charge level is 83.7 kWh. The overall size of the battery pack is 90 kWh, so I guess it is holding back a bit less than 10%.
I refer you to my earlier wish list of power system meters...
Yeah but running behind a semi will dramatically increase your odds of getting a rock chip on your car or even worse on your windshield. Semis throw rocks!!
True but this is just for emergencies. Also choose a truck with full mudflaps. Hopefully one with the trucker girl silloutte
The problem, aside from rock chips, is that you are blind to what is happening in front of the truck.
A long long time ago I got caught in a blizzard white out driving across the pan Handle of Texas. I was afraid to pull off to the side of the road and stop and also afraid to go too slow. Thankfully I caught up with an 18 wheeler up ahead and I planted myself right immediately behind him. We were moving along at around 35-45 mph and I stuck with him for over two hours until we got to a small town where I could pull off the road safely.
I’m not getting anything close to this. I’d like to see a chart that shows impact of temperature, altitude and such to the published range.
Close to any of it or close to the top line? I think most of us are getting between 70-80% of this and that assumes a majority of it is driving at "gentler" speeds than you might want to. There's a lot of info in this thread and elsewhere on range. Speed, incline, regen use, wind, and temperature all have their impacts. Speed and incline seem to be big killers, but when your battery temp needs to be maintained at 93 degrees, on hot days, you'll see a lot of drain due to AC usage - whether you're using it for yourself or not.
What do you mean? What are you getting?
Hypermiling 101!
You know what.....my wife has a figure EXACTLY like that trucker girl (assuming we are talking the same naked pixie one), she was rockin it at 50!
It’s all about speed and elevation changes. I did a miserable test where I drove the speed limit, over 90 something miles I got 4.4 mi/kwh, that was at 89F outside with inside climate set to 68 auto mode and moderate elevation changes (nothing steep aside from on-Ramps). Speed was mostly 55-66 mph range, it feels wrong to drive the car that slow but I think on a relatively flat loop you’d hit 500 miles no problem, similar to InsideEVs test but he was going 70mph. So if you drive the speed limit your efficiency is like two Rivians.
